Can this corker be used with both natural and synthetic corks?

It works well with E.C. Kraus's Synthetic Straight Corks Size #9, and Diam II 1 3/4" wine corks.

Sorry in the delay. Just found out. It should be used with the base because the bottom of the pole is just flat. I guess you could dig a deep hole and put it in. There may be other models with a corkscrew bottom. Hope this helped.

I used these corks in the clear and cobalt blue wine bottles, BUT you will have to get one of those corkers to get them in, as they fit VERY tight. They do work though,, hope this helped a little.

Actually, I don't know about plastic corks, but I had a similar device before its battery failed and it worked fine on plastic corks. I see no reason why this one will not, but I haven't had a bottle with a plastic cork since I got this opener.

No, mushroom corks will not fit in this press. I also would not recommend using wine corks for bottling Champagne either, the carbonation will burst wine corks out. https://www.midwestsupplies.com/champagne-floor-corker.html?utm_medium=feeds&utm_source=google&gdftrk=gdfV24959_a_7c1306_a_7c6184_a_7c8258&gclid=CI2qzbGfsrgCFQik4AodbHEAqA This is what you are looking for

I'd believe you can. It is just a little deeper before you put corks in and it has the handles for carrying.

I don't think so. The cork surface will warp if exposed to excess moisture. If it's located in a sheltered area it may be ok. Good luck.

Synthetic corks are a problem with any wine opener. I find that, due to the lever, on the Brookstone it really pulls them out easier, but some of those things are a BEAR! Saying not to use it on synthetics is probably a disclaimer, because they will eventually stretch any corkscrew of this type, including the electric kind, that has the long, more open spiral, not like the old-school corkscrews, with the two arms , or a wine tool, that have a sturdier, tighter spiral corkscrew. This is why they sell the replacement units that are simple, and inexpensive to replace. The fact is that the lever itself is what makes it easy to remove those buggers! I have a Williams Sonoma one that is very similar that lasted 10 years before I replaced the spiral,, and I use it when I volunteer at my theatre's concession, opening MANY bottles a show, plus fundraisers and concerts and wine tastings as much as 30 nights a year, plus my own use. and there were some of those synthetic corks, that were nearly impossible to remove with anything...I think that is what finally stretched mine. The thing was still useable, but it didn't pull out as smoothly and easily, so I just replaced it, and it works like new. The Brookstone one seems to be a better made piece especially because of the lever handle. The corkscrew pieces themselves are readily available, so I think this opener is a good choice.

Not being a whiskey drinker, I would hazard a guess and say it would. I had two different wine bottles I used when I made lamps for my friends, and had no issues fitting one of the three plugs provided into the opening. The kit was really easy to use and assembled quickly!

Yes. That is exactly what I bought mine for. I have used in both champagne and wine bottles

I wouldn't suggest it. They replace the cork in a wine bottle which might be hard to fill for juicing. You might be interested in the Wide Mouth attachment which inconjunction with Ball (or other) Sealing lids and jars. That might be great for juicing.

It works on most bottle, there is only 1 my husband found wouldn't work in it. It's a big blue bottle, the top sort of goes out at the top. It's the only 1 that won't work in it. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good corker at a decent price. My husband LOVES his, says "It's so slick & easy" to use.

Yes it opens regular cork and the synthetic corks. Those are the only corks that I have seen. No problem

I haven't tried synthetic corks yet, but it has been a good product for me. I use it once/ week ave. and do not keep it charged up. I only charge it when it seems tired.

Absolutely. The idea is to prevent the oxygen from going in with wine. If the cork is tight in its place the top does not matter.

The cork material should work fine. The thickness and form-fitting capabilities should work very well. I have used this set to make gaskets for a street legal nitrous injected heavy modified 350 Chevy engine with no problems ie, water pump gasket, and header to exhaust connections.
